Remember when certain books were considered “unfilmable”? Too sprawling, too strange, too interior? Same. Now they’re prestige television.
We’re in an era where vibes are getting greenlit. Emotional devastation? Check. Stylized trauma? Gorgeous. Introspective character arcs with morally gray leads and no clean endings? Plug it into a streamer.
So, this week, we’re leaning in. What happens when stories built for the page make the jump to the screen and actually work? What does it take to pull off a post-apocalyptic gut punch (The Last of Us), or animate a character study into something electric (Arcane)? And what books are quietly waiting their turn to blow everyone’s minds?
This isn’t just about adaptations — it’s about evolution. You ready?
